AEDC Prototype Has the Range of 150 miles With a Speed of 170mph

The super electrical vehicle, AEDC (All Electric Drift Car) Electric Prototype, may attain a speed of 170 mph. The future is likely to belong to such AEDCs. Quimera Responsible Racing is the green car pioneer in the field of sports in Spain. Evelio Electric Supercars are a team of electric car designers from the United Kingdom which is consisting of Alex Letteriello and his small team.

Both these companies are joining hands to create an all-electric super sports car that can race in competitions. The dangerous cornering issues will be taken care of by means of a sideways glide. The AEDC will be codenamed, K1 Evelio and will speed from 0-60 mph (96.5 km/h) in 3.2 seconds. 

It will have an average target of 150 miles (241.4 km) on a single charge. This car is going to use up to date technology to get the high speed that is required for an electric race car and the charging range is going to make many electric car makers jealous.

As you may have already spotted, the design of the K1 has been inspired by the Slovakian K1 sports car, the Attack Roadster, but with a 170kW electric powertrain which is equal to an output of almost 230 horsepower and developing 220Nm (162 pound-feet) of torque instead of a roaring V6 engine. It's currently limited to a top speed of 95 mph (153 km/h), which is rather sluggish when compared to the Tesla Roadster, for instance, but its designers are looking towards ramping that up to the 170 mph mark in the future. During the developmental stage, the team is likely to boost the power output to 250 kW of 335 horsepower.

The super-charged Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are said to have been specifically chosen for speed of recharge, and superior thermal and chemical stability. They can be charged to full capacity in just an hour, or 80 percent in 20 minutes via a 30 amp socket.

The vehicle has a tubular steel chassis and fiberglass body and sports a sleek silver white metallic pearl paint job at the moment, but Quimera is running a design competition that asks folks to come up with a suitably eye-catching race design to adorn the bodywork of the electric supercar.

Electric vehicles have proved in the last couple of years that they can enter the sports scene capably. For example, the Electric RaceAbout got much attention when it came out on the Nurburgring track as well as on ice.

Fuel prices are on the rise and many companies are accepting the reality that electric cars will have to become the future of the car market and that will happen even at the sports arena.

The official launch of the K1 Evelio is likely to be in October this year for the racing season. Quimera Responsible Racing will have to decide on the sticker design that is going to be used in motor sport for this racing car. It has given an open invitation in a contest for presentation of designs.

The drifting competitions were meant earlier only for petrol cars. Now, the time has come for electric cars to enter the Grand Prixs and wear their tires out. *** [QUIMERA | EVELIO | GIZMAG | AUTO-TYPES]
